Music reviews of Cabaret (1999 Studio Cast) (First Complete Recording)
Music Review: Documented Well, However Very Medicore
Rating: 3 Stars
Listening to this recording made me realize how medicore Cabaret is to other Kander-Ebb shows. There are certainly some great numbers, "Willkommen", "So What?", "Don't Tell Mama", "Perfectly Marvelous", "Two Ladies", "The Money Song" and the title song, to name to bulk of the terrific songs, but much of the show's book numbers, with the exception of "So What?" and "Perfectly Marvelous", are awful.
I think the medicore feeling you get from this recording comes from the medicore cast. Jonathan Pryce's MC cannot compare to Joel Grey's. Maria Friedman is also incomparable and medicore to the 1966 Sally and Liza Minnelli.
The only real standout performers here are Dame Judi Dench as Frau Schnider and the lyricist extraordinaire, Fred Ebb as Herr Schultz.
I'd recommend the 1966 Original Cast Album and the movie soundtrack over this.
Description of Cabaret (1999 Studio Cast) (First Complete Recording)
Astonishingly enough, the soundtrack to this classic 1972 musical is available only on cassette from MCA in the U.S. The film garnished two Oscars that year: Liza Minnelli got best actress and Bob Fosse got best director. It also co-stars Michael York and Joel Grey. 12 tracks.This 1999 entry in JAY's Masterworks Edition series captures Kander and Ebb's Cabaret in an excellent two-disc release that preserves the complete Broadway score with its original orchestrations and vocal arrangements, as well as an addendum of four songs written for the 1972 motion picture (including "Maybe This Time" and "Money, Money") as well as three written for the 1987 Broadway revival--111 minutes in all. Jonathan Pryce might be too similar to his most famous role as Miss Saigon's Engineer, but Oscar-winner Judi Dench (who shined as Desiree in a London version of Sondheim's A Little Night Music) and lyricist Fred Ebb himself are excellent as the older couple, Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz. Also good are Gregg Edelman as Cliff and Maria Friedman (best known for her role in the video production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) as Sally Bowles. This production may not have the authenticity of the original Broadway cast, the Liza-led star power of the film soundtrack, or the grit of the 1998 revival, but it's a highly enjoyable reading, and the completeness of the score makes it a must for the voracious Cabaret listener. --David Horiuchi
